Neighborhood
About the neighborhood
És un barri tranquil del centre de Badalona molt a prop de mar, gran part de barri és de vianants. És en una zona comercial, on abunda el petit comerç de proximitat, totes aquestes botigues estan a menys de 5 minuts de la casa.
El carrer on està situat casa nostra és molt petit, això afavoreix la proximitat i la bona relació amb els veïns.
It's a quiet neighborhood in the center of Badalona, very close to the sea. Much of the area is pedestrianized. It's in a commercial area with an abundance of small, local businesses; all of these shops are less than five minutes from the house.
The street on which our house is located is very small, which favors proximity and good neighbor relationships.
Nearest Airport: Barcelona, El Prat de Llobregat

La maison est très bien située pour visiter Barcelone et elle se situe à quelques pas de la mer ! L'accueil était parfait et la maison est conforme à l'annonce. Nous recommandons vivement cet échange et nous y retournerons avec plaisir si l'occasion se présente ! Notre maison était impeccable à notre retour. Merci pour ce bel échange !
This was a very happy exchange, our first for five years ! Communication both before, during and after the exchange was prompt and friendly. Both us and our exchange partners enjoyed being welcomed by members of our respective families. Montserrat and Josep had a very good illustrated welcome pack in five languages ! We were inspired by that to improve our own 'home information'. Both their house and the cat were very welcoming, characterful and comfortable to be around. We shared some musical interests after the exchange, which was an unexpected delight.
Logement très agréable et très bien placé, proche de tout. Nous avons été très bien accueillis.
